(Senior) Scientist Single-Cell Technologies

Amsterdam

Neogene Therapeutics is a pre-clinical stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of next-generation, fully personalized engineered T cells therapies for a broad spectrum of cancers. The company’s engineered T cells target mutation-derived tumor neo-antigens thereby rendering tumor cells vulnerable to detection and destruction. Neogene’s proprietary technology platform enables the identification of TCR genes with specificity for neo-antigens from a tumor biopsy. Neogene’s novel platform delivers a tailored set of TCR genes for each individual patient thereby enabling fully personalized engineered T cell therapy for cancer.

For our Research and Development team in Amsterdam, we are seeking a highly motivated individual to join our TCR discovery team as a (Senior) Scientist. The individual will use existing and develop novel single-cell technologies to drive innovation of our TCR discovery platform.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

Designing and performing experimental studies that use single-cell technologies to develop novel TCR discovery and functional characterization tools.
Driving innovation of Neogene’s TCR discovery pipeline, thereby paving the way for the next generation of T cell therapies.
Collaborating with the broader R&D team and supervising research associates and internship students.
Keeping up to date with the scientific literature, and proactively seeking out and reporting on relevant developments in the field.

First-hand experience with aseptic cell culture and multi-color flow cytometry is essential.
Additional training in the area of primary immune cell culture, viral and non-viral genetic engineering (e.g. CRISPR), genetic screening (vector design/construction and next-generation sequencing), and flow cytometry-based cell sorting is a plus.
Excellent organizational skills, a strong sense of urgency with regards to work duties and the ability to deliver results based on challenging timelines.
Strong verbal and written communication skills in English.
Comfortable in a fast-paced growing company environment and able to adjust workload based upon changing priorities.
